Here you have yet another tattoo, one of a rather hairless (apparently) version of the Patterson Bigfoot. Cryptomundo reader pdxbigfoot writes: I’ve been getting tattooed for about 20 yrs and got this about 13 yrs ago. It’s a very interesting artist’s rendition of “Patty.” I have plans of a partial Skookum mask on the left side of my face in my later years as I wear heavy black work [clothes?] on my right side now. Enjoy!!
On This Day in Nessie History
Art by Bill Rebsamen, reproduced with his permission. On this day, August 22, in AD 565, St. Columba came across a group of Picts who were burying a man killed by a monster that today is linked to the Loch Ness Monster. St. Columba supposedly brought the man back to life. In another version, he is said to have saved the man while the man was being attacked, driving away the monster with the sign of the cross. Most histories of Nessie point to this event as the first known reference to the Loch Ness Monster.
Nessie Attack Publicity Stunt
It’s a difficult time for Nessie. Stories about the Internet being hard on the Loch Ness Monsters are being written because fake photos can be instantly sent around the world. And debunked. But the premise seems to be that Nessie is an “urban legend” to begin with in that article. If you start there, you might just end up there. Now, what comes along next? A supposedly serious news item about people being insured against a Nessie attack. Come on. Cryptozoologists would never get behind something like this, and this publicity is as transparent as a glass of Scottish mountain [...]
Another Cryptotat
Sent in by Tommy, who emails: “I have a tat of the Boggy Creek Creature nestled in my horror movie sleeves. The Patty backpiece is measured, and in the works.” Travel back to the original “Cryptotat” blog here.
Cryptotat
Is this the ultimate “Cryptozoology” fan and the world’s only known sighting of a cryptotat!? Who is this dude? Unlike the elusive cryptids around us, this phantom with the Cryptozoology love tattoo was photographed by the quick-eyed R. Stevens at a comic show in Toronto this past weekend. Xeni Jardin at Boing Boing showed it to me first late last night, and I contacted R. Stevens for permission to post it here. Xeni’s going to do her own blog on this today at Boing Boing, but I have to honor this here too. Is it perhaps the only cryptotat known? [...]
New Mystery Fish Photos
Here’s a new mystery fish photograph just received. Anyone have any ideas what it is? Although it is not a cryptid, it certainly is an unknown until identified. These photos are making the Internet rounds as evidence of a new world record piranha, an extremely dubious identification. Meanwhile, the Cryptomundo mystery fish photograph on an antique postcard (first noted at Cryptomundo on November 29, 2005, contributed by phyllis) has still not been solved.

Oldest Footprint
The photograph the ancient footprint has not been published, to the best of our knowledge. Egyptian archaeologists have found what they said could be the oldest human footprint in history in the country’s western desert, the Arab country’s antiquities’ chief said on Monday. “This could go back about two million years,” said Zahi Hawass, the secretary general of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. “It could be the most important discovery in Egypt,” he told Reuters. Archaeologists found the footprint, imprinted on mud and then hardened into rock, while exploring a prehistoric site in Siwa, a desert oasis. Scientists are [...]
Now Appearing On “El Aguacate”
I just appeared on the BBC radio in Ecuador “Radio City.” I was invited to come on by María Gracia Dejo, the producer of the radio station “associated with the BBC of London in Ecuador ‘Radio City’ and with the most important newspaper of the country, El Universo.” Here’s what Ms. Dejo had to say about their program: In Radio City, we have a late lifestyle show called “El Aguacate”, where we have interviews from around the world with personalities from entertainment, music, cusine, sports, science, culture, technology, tourism and more mixed with news and music. We are very interested [...]
Russian Snowman Revisited
Early in August 2007, the above 1990 Nikolaj Avdeev “Russian Snowman” photograph was making the rounds. It seemed only right to take another look, with some analytic distance. What can be learned by comparing it with this 21st Century Bigfoot toy?
Dolphins in Baltic Sea – First Time In 200 Years
Add another one to this wild week of unusual animal sightings. Warsaw, Poland — Two dolphins frolicking near the Polish Baltic Sea port of Gdynia at the weekend thrilled Polish marine biologists, who say dolphins were last seen in the area more than two centuries ago. “Our records show dolphin sightings in this area in the 17th and 19th Centuries, so this really is a special event,” Professor Krzysztof Sikora, head of Gdansk University’s marine biology station on the Baltic’s Hel peninsula. Sikora identified the creatures as common dolphins and urged pleasure boaters and commercial shippers to keep their eyes [...]
